Drake's 'Scorpion' Spends Fifth Week at No.1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart
Kenny Chesney debuts in the top 10.

For a fifth straight week, Drake’s Scorpion ruled the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart (BB200). The set continues at No.1, earning 145,000 equivalent album units (down 21 percent) in the week ending Aug. 2, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, just 12,000 were in traditional sales, as the album continues to be overwhelmingly powered by streaming activity (123,000 were in SEA units (translating to 169.6 million on-demand audio streams),
At No. 2 on the Billboard 200, Kenny Chesney debuted with his latest studio effort, SONGS FOR THE SAINTS. The album bowed with 77,000 units earned (with 65,000 of that sum in traditional album sales). Songs is Chesney’s debut for Warner Music Nashville after a long tenure with Sony Music Nashville.

Kenny Chesney's 'Songs For the Saints' Debuts As #1 Country Album
Virgin Islands Hurricane Relief Project Tops 77,400

Kenny Chesney with SONGS FOR THE SAINTS (Blue Chair/Warner Bros./Warner Music Nashville) launched at No.1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart dated Aug. 11. It earned 77,000 equivalent album units in its first week (ending Aug. 2), according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, over 64,600 were via traditional album sales. With consumption it makes it one of the year’s/country’s most successful debuts without a ticket bundle promotion offer.
















Having broken his own record at Chicago’s Soldiers Field with 52,189 and a completely sold out show, Kenny Chesney finally released Songs for the Saints Friday, July 27.
Chesney’s first WMN set is his 16th Top Country Albums No.1, lifting him into a fourth-place tie with Merle Haggard and Tim McGraw for the most charttoppers.
George Strait leads with 26, followed by Garth Brooks and Willie Nelson with 17 each.
Chesney and Buddy Cannon produced the 11-song project. It contains five tracks that Chesney co-authored. Featured artists include Jimmy Buffett (“Trying to Reason With Hurricane Season”), Ziggy Marley (“Love for Love City”) and Mindy Smith (“Better Boat”).
Songs for the Saints was crafted in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, which wreaked destruction in 2017, including the Virgin Islands, where Chesney’s home on St. John was destroyed. He is donating 100 percent of the proceeds from the album to the victims of Irma through his Love for Live City Fund charity.
“It’s thrilling Songs for the Saints has had this kind of response,” Chesney told Billboard, “in part because, obviously, these songs are as close to my soul as anything I’ve ever recorded, but also because every bit of the proceeds goes to the Love for Love City Fund, which has been financing a lot of the rebuilding post-Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
Knowing that [fan base] No Shoes Nation continues to make this kind of a difference for some islands that could be easily forgotten means the world to me, and, once again, No Shoes Nation has shown up like only it can.”

When Kenny Chesney made Songs for the Saints, he wasn’t thinking about chart positions, country radio or how these songs would play in his live shows—he was worried about the people of the Virgin Islands. Riding out a Category 5 hurricane without the same kinds of safety nets people on mainland take for granted, he understood the peril, and he channeled it into “Song for the Saints,” then “Love for Love City.”
“All I knew was that I was so scared for a lot of people and places that I really loved,” says Chesney of the inspiration. “I was anxious, and I was thousands of miles away. I needed to do something, something that would let those people know they weren’t gonna be forgotten when the news cycle moved on. I had no idea it would be an album, but the songs were something they could sing. And now here we are.”
“Get Along” broke Billboard’s record for the most No.1s on the Country Airplay chart by a single artist, the infectious two-week No. 1 that was Chesney’s 30th chart-topper also returned to the top of the iTunes chart.

PROMOTION: Chesney and his band performed “Get Along”  on NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” (July 31).

Critical reception for Kenny Chesney’s Songs For The Saints:
11 Tracks/Time: 43:15 Amazon UK - UK iTunes - Amazon.com

Allmusic (Rating; 4 STARS) …Songs for the Saints does have an undercurrent of melancholy running through a few of its tunes, yet its tone isn't sorrowful. Chesney celebrates the very feel of island culture, drawing upon the scenery, legends, weather, and
friendship that come with the sand, sun, and sea. This focus on a warm, hazy vibe separates Songs for the Saints from such introspective Chesney albums as Hemingway's Whiskey, which are studied in their sobriety. Here, he winds up finding depth within his signature mellow good times, and the result is one of Chesney's best records: it goes down smooth yet lingers in the memory long after its gone.

Roughstock (Rating: Positive) The path to continued success for Kenny Chesney, especially on his first album with a new record label, would've been to record just another album of radio-ready fare but instead, he’s decided to record Songs For The Saints and it will go down as one of — if not the best — of his legendary career. And it’s a testament to the people who allowed the superstar to just be Kenny, the people who are rebuilding paradise with such grace and beauty and truly shows how they collectively have a massive piece of his heart.

Sounds Like Nashville (Rating: Positive) While Songs for the Saints is a departure from the radio-friendly hits Chesney has had over the years, it is a reflection on the singer as a person as he struggles to make sense of the devastation witnessed in the Virgin Islands. As he sings fondly of the island that helped him turn into the man he is today, the impact is evident throughout each song’s descriptive lyrics and the emotion embodied in every note. While he wasn’t there when the storms ravaged through the area, the singer promises to help rebuild as best as he can and with Songs for the Saints he follows through on his pledge while bringing awareness for his beloved Virgin Islands.

Cody Jinks with LIFERS with (Cody Jinks/Rounder/Concord) arrived at No. 2 (a personal-best) on Top Country Albums (#11 Billboard 200) with 24,000 consumption units. On Americana/Folk Albums, the set started at No.1. He makes his first appearance on Americana/Folk Albums and second on Top Country Albums, following I’m Not the Devil, which debuted and peaked at No. 4 in 2016.
Released on August 12, 2016 I’M NOT THE DEVIL (Cody Jinks/Thirty Tigers) entered at No.4 on Top Country Albums (#39 Billboard 200) selling 11,331 copies and marked his first appearance on the tally. By Dec 17, 2017 it had sold 67,100 copies

Cody Jinks on New Album ‘Lifers’ and Dimebag Darrell’s Influence: Texas native discusses the push and pull of touring life, a major theme of his Rounder Records debut

Allmusic (Rating : 4 STARS) Following a string of self-released albums that culminated in 2016's I'm Not the Devil making a surprise number four appearance on Billboard's Country Albums chart, Texas singer/songwriter Cody Jinks makes his label debut with the brooding, existentially concerned Lifers….. Newfound success and new label or not, Lifers is another rock-solid release in Jinks' remarkably consistent career.

Roughstock (Rating: Positive) …If Jinks’ tip of the hat to his heroes with “Lifers" isn’t proof enough, “Can’t Quit Enough” is a rollicking,Haggard-esque workingman blues. It’s a hearty affirmation of Jinks’ artistic identity. Imprisoned lifers, in popular vernacular, are inmates cell-bound against their will. However, Cody Jinks has willfully committed himself to carrying on straight ahead country music’s proud traditions. And right now, there’s no better troubadour carrying that flag.

Saving Country Music (Rating: 8.5/ 10)…. The annals of country music are peppered with entries on folks who poked their head into the genre for a few years before deciding to jump ship or switch styles. But the folks who dedicated their lives to the music are the ones that history remembers most fondly, and receive their name in headers of chapters, helping to mark the guideposts of the music’s chronological eras. They’re the “Lifers,” who just like the people they sing for, take pride in their unwavering commitment to plying a trade behind a purpose, and the craftsmanship and heart they put into those efforts, knowing the music and its lineage will always be bigger than them, their work will be rewarded and judged most harshly in hindsight, and that country music holds no guarantee of sustaining into the future unless someone is willing to pick up the yoke left by their predecessors, and get to work.
Paste (Rating: 8.2/ 10)… Jinks mines the same template as any number of other rebels and resisters, but fortunately, he also asserts a belief and conviction that confirms his authenticity. And like all crafty country performers, he also shows a knack for coming up with catchy song titles that possess both irony and imagination. Indeed, the name given “Somewhere Between I Love You and I’m Leavin’” effectively sums up the state of a dysfunctional romance. Lifers is the kind of album that ought to find a receptive audience with those that like their roots music honest, straightforward and unpretentious. Lifers affirms those values with every note and nuance.

Keith Urban Hits #1 With 'Coming Home'
Congrats to Keith Urban, Royce Risser, Bobby Young, David Friedman and the Capitol promotion team on landing the week’s No.1 with “Coming Home,” which also features Julia Michaels. Writer credits go to J.R. Rotem, Nicolle Galyon, Merle Haggard, Urban and Michaels.
























Coming Home” (You Were Diane) (Capitol) moved 2-1 logging 8,081 radio spins (+195) and 47.957 million audience impressions (+0.295 million) with 26058 Total Points (+465) from 158 tracking stations (158 ADDS) for the tracking week July 29 to August 4, 2018 and published chart August 6th, 2018.

Four-time GRAMMY Award winner Urban celebrated his 24th Mediabase Country Airplay Chart #1. The song, which marks the first time that a country artist has utilized a sample of another country song, is Urban’s latest single from his critically hailed #1 album GRAFFITI U.  The album debuted #1 in the U.S., Canada and Australia, the second time that Urban has accomplished that feat, the only male country artist to ever achieve but once.  “Coming Home,” which Urban explained ‘began with an idea of using the intro of Haggard’s “Mama Tried”,’ gives Urban an astounding thirty-ninth Top 10 singles.
 Urban’s “GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR 2018” heads to Canada next month, during which time he will also perform on the Canadian Country Music Awards.
